Ma Xiangbo (Chinese: 馬相伯; 1840-1939), also known under his style Ma Liang (馬良), was a Chinese scholar and educator during the late Qing dynasty and the Republic of China.

Biography

Ma was born in Dantu, Jiangsu province to a prominent Catholic family. At the age of 11, he enrolled in a Jesuit school in Shanghai, Collège de Saint-Ignace, where remained first as student and later as teacher until 1870. In 1870, he became an ordained member of the Jesuit order. In 1886/87, he visited France and eventually devoted his life to higher education.

Ma founded the following institutions of higher learning:
* Aurora Academy (Zhendan Xueyuan 震旦學院)(1903)
* Fudan Public School (Fudan Gongxue 復旦公學) (1905), literally meaning: a revived Aurora Public School
* Beijing Gongjiao Daxue 北京公教大學, later renamed Fu Jen Catholic University （Furen daxue 輔仁大學）, in co-operation with Ying Lianzhi 英斂之.

His idea of establishing a highest body of learning was eventually realized in 1928 by his close friend, the educator Cai Yuanpei, who established the Academia Sinica (Zhongyang Yanjiuyuan 中央研究院).

His brother, Ma Jianzhong, was a prominent official in the Qing government.
